Beaches are a popular venue choice for weddings, birthday parties, sports events, and picnics. The stunning background, soft sands, and vast space allow people to relax and have fun with their friends and family.
Planning a beach event? Don’t forget to make music arrangements. You can explore a wide range of genres and choose the one that compliments the ambiance of your event.
Here are five genres you should consider to elevate the atmosphere of your event:
Pop
Pop or popular music appeals to a wide range of ages and tastes. It is usually played in clubs, malls, retail stores, and restaurants. Pop songs have catchy rhythms and hooks, making them perfect for lively beach gatherings. If you want everyone up and dancing at the event, pop music is a great option.
Alternative Rock
A subgenre of rock ‘n’ roll, alternative rock is a genre like no other. Alternative bands use brass, drums, guitars, and keyboards to create edgy and rebellious music. If you’re hosting beach games or sports tournaments, alternative rock music will liven the crowd. It is a perfect mix of chill and upbeat energy.
Classical
For a more sophisticated event, such as wedding parties or formal dinners, choose classical music. It focuses on melody, tempo, and rhythm. It adds an air of elegance, elevating your guest’s experience. You can choose a composition that best suits the theme of your event. Generally, classical music pairs well with a black tie and cocktail event.
Jazz
If you want something sophisticated but laid-back, jazz is perfect for you. The smooth and inviting melodies will encourage your guests to mingle and enjoy the moment. Jazz music usually has an improvisational nature and it urges listeners to sing along. It is perfect for beach brunches and engagement dinners.
Acoustic and Folk
To create an intimate and cozy vibe, consider playing acoustic music. It features soft vocals and natural melodies, which seamlessly fit into the beach setting. Intimate beach weddings, bonfires, and sunset dinners need soothing and easygoing music. Whether you’re playing classic acoustic hits or more folk tunes, your guests will be immersed in the natural beauty of the beach.
Hire Special Beach Bands
To create a truly unique experience for your guests, consider hiring a specialized beach band. They have the experience and knowledge to craft a playlist according to the tone and theme of your event. A quality beach band will know how to engage with guests, encourage participation, and help everyone relax.
They make a unique playlist mixing tropical, rock, and classical songs to align with the different moods of the guests. From bridal chorus to upbeat music, a live beach band can create an unforgettable experience. Live music helps you add a personal touch to your event and execute the event you envisioned.
Final Thoughts
Beach events are preferred because they allow guests to wear comfortable attire and connect with nature. Add classical, jazz, or alternative rock music on top of this and you have an event that no one forgets.
